Top Player Battles for DC vs LSG, Match 4 of IPL 2025

3. Faf du Plessis vs Ravi Bishnoi

Faf du Plessis was in good form in the previous edition and scored 438 runs in 15 matches. He will be a crucial player at the top of the order for Delhi Capitals, this time with a little lesser load since Axar Patel has been appointed as the captain. He will be up against Ravi Bishnoi from Lucknow Super Giants, who is their main spinner and can also bowl in the powerplay if needed.

Faf du Plessis has an excellent record against Bishnoi having scored 98 runs in 63 balls he has faced from Bishnoi. He has been striking them at 155 and the bowler is yet to run past du Plessis’ defence yet. This could be a great match up for Proteas batter to take down Bishnoi if he could bat deep in the innings.

2. Nicholas Pooran vs Mitchell Starc

Nicholas Pooran was the leading run getter for LSG in the previous edition, scoring 449 runs. The Caribbean wicketkeeper-batter will be facing Mitchell Starc who has joined DC ahead of IPL 2025. This will turn out to be a very crucial battle in this match.

Starc has dismissed Pooran twice in just nine balls, while Pooran has managed just 7 runs at a strike rate of 77 in T20I format. This will be a crucial battle, and the Aussie pacer can be given the ball when the stumper-batter walks in to bat.

1. Rishabh Pant vs Kuldeep Yadav

LSG captain Rishabh Pant has had a good camaraderie with Kuldeep Yadav, keeping his balls behind the wickets. However, the IPL 2025 will see the roles completely contrary, as they will be up against each other as rivals, as the DC spinner will aim to get the better of Pant.

Kuldeep has an excellent record against the stumper-batter, picking up his wicket two times, while the latter has managed just 23 runs in 20 balls at a strike rate of 109. This will be an exciting battle between these two players, making the upcoming match worth watching.
